Glad I found this website. I am huge black tea drinker. From England UK.
I have a up of tea at every opportunity. I was wondering if there are any black tea alternatives, that are healthy and maybe better benefits. Or other black tea's?

I have milk and 2.5 sugars :/ and by the end of the day that builds up to an unhealthy intake of caffeine, super and milk..

Id love to find a tea i can use with milk and sugar but isn't as high in caffeine but still has a kick and nice taste to it.

There are a lot of teas that can be drunk without milk and sugar: most of us here focus on teas that we drink 'straight'. Green teas, oolongs, white teas, puerhs, and non-Camellia sinensis herbal tisanes. Many of these can be infused multiple times, so that the caffeine hit is gentler because it's spread out.

There has been some talk for years on the compatibility of tea/coffee with milk, healthwise. I'm too lazy to research it, but remember seeing some 'studies' or info, years ago. Perhaps one of our more scientific chat members can pipe up on this.

"Science" should not override personal experience & common sense, perhaps. It is comforting when science supports our impressions, but when it does not, I would go w/ my experience over science.

A lot of milk & sugar = a lot of fat & carbs. Of course someone who drinks hot beverages all day long w/ milk & sugar might do well to switch to tea that needs only water: Good tea that one takes some time to savor, that one enjoys so much that he doesn't just chug it down. Of course, one should not drink too much of anything.

Extreme intake of liquids might make it hard for guts to do their work, breaking down food to assimilate vitamins, minerals, etc. Pairing some tea w/ a snack or dessert may be fine. That's different than gulping down drinks during a big meal.

Milk in tea stops the antioxidants' effects, but recent research claims antioxidants promote both good & bad things that are occurring in our bodies. I suggest that tea's best contribution to good health is that staying home for tea sessions makes us much less likely to go out & get run over by a drunk driver etc.

Scientists have said that chocolate does not cause pimples. A billion adolescents have "broken out" in horror a day after eating a big chocolate bar despite no "scientific" explanation for this. Fortunately, everyone agrees that tea does not give one pimples.

From our individual reactions we know what not to drink on an empty stomach or in excess; to drink enough plain water; etc. (Have a bellyache? Is one's sleep interrupted by trips to the toilet every hour? Is one's mouth & throat too dry?)

If my life is likely to be a little shorter because I drink a lot tea, I will keep drinking tea. Fortunately, 60 ounces of very good tea straight is much more satisfying to drink than 130 ounces of pedestrian tea w/ milk; so, we can avoid some fat & delay our heart attacks a year or so.

i think there are so-many teas, didn't required any sugar. but from that one is green tea, and i think its very good and healthy drink. when my friend was taking green tea from TeaNaga it work good and he loosed his weight in few of month. and i think its a good alternative for you.
